What I’m still reading: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris (almost finished)What’s on the iPod: Winter Winds by Mumford & Sons I have a post up over at About Freelance Writing. If you get a chance, give Anne some traffic and leave some comment love. I’m about to admit something I can hardly…
Month: December 2010
Bread Crumbs
What’s on the iPod: Sea of No Cares by Great Big Sea Super day yesterday. I accomplished much more than I thought I would, and I still had time left over at the end of the day to relax. That’s almost unheard of – time to relax in December. I had my shopping done five…
Happy Resolution Day
What’s on the iPod: So Long, Sweet Misery by Brett Dennen If you heard rejoicing yesterday, that would be me. Yesterday was an AMEN day. As I sat trying to get the meat of an article and two small projects completed, a favorite client came knocking with not one, but two projects due by the…
Freebies, Systems, and Busy Work
What’s on the iPod: In Between by The Clarks Yesterday was fun. I managed one project before life interrupted. Because I work from home, I get tagged to let the work people in for appointments I knew little, if anything, about. This one was the annual termite inspection. It usually takes about ten minutes, but…

The Domino’s Guide to a Tasty Career
What’s on the iPod: Ten Thousand Things by The Avett Brothers Busy day yesterday. Interviews in the morning and book work in the afternoon. I put up the “Away” message on my email and avoided. I have projects due and I needed the uninterrupted time. I was busy two nights ago putting together a last-minute…
Seven Things You Should Never Say to Your Client
What I’m reading: Gilian the Dreamer by Neil MunroWhat’s on the iPod: Hicktown by Jason Aldean For some reason I was thinking about George Carlin over the weekend. I was remembering some of his earlier stuff, which at the time we thought was drop-dead hilarious. I listened to a little of it again. It still…
Integrity and Writerly Boundaries
What I’m reading: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David SedarisWhat’s on the iPod: Wishing Well by The Airborne Toxic Event Are they making weekends shorter these days? Not that we didn’t cram a week’s worth of things into two days, but Monday is here way too quickly. We had our meditation group over on…
